Not the same genre but..

Devil May Cry is superior in everything in my opinion and far better at combat objectively.

Devil May Cry, outside of the second entry, has shown amazing combat growth in each subsequent installment. Even DmC: Devil May Cry made advancements in the combat system with the pulls and fast swaps. Ignoring the story/character controversy, it failed in combat because it made it too easy to remain aerial and lacked a lockon, which is a must have feature for a game like DMC.

It's not really a fair comparison either. DMC created a whole new genre, God of War gave us a bunch of funny Square Square Triangle pics.

In terms of best to worst:
DMC3 > DMC4 > DMC > DmC > DMC2.


That said, Bayonetta 2 is the absolute best character action game in existence, bar none. Bayonetta 1 was already fighting with DMC 3 for the top spot, but Bayonetta 2 just leap frogged both of them and sped off far out of reach.
